The activity of glutamate related enzymes and the concentration of glutamine, glutamate and gamma-amino n-butyric acid (GABA) were investigated in the cerebral cortex of rats, in different stages of insulin-induced hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia was produced by intraperitoneal injection of insulin
The present study investigated the anticonvulsive effect of the disubstituted diaryl diselenides diphenyl diselenide (PhSe)(2), m-trifluoromethyl-diphenyl diselenide (m-CF(3)-C(6)H(4)Se)(2), p-chloro-diphenyl diselenide (p-Cl-C(6)H(4)Se)(2) and p-methoxyl-diphenyl diselenide (p-CH(3)O-C(6)H(4)Se)(2)
OBJECTIVE
The involvement of the GABAergic system in seizures induced by diphenyl diselenide (PhSe)₂ in rat pups was investigated.
METHODS
To this end, the effect of aminooxyacetic acid hemihydrochloride (AOAA, 20 mg/kg; by intraperitoneal route, i.p.), a GABA-T inhibitor; DL-2,4-diamino-n-butyric
The effects of muscimol, amino-oxyacetic acid (AOAA), diamino-N-butyric acid (DABA), bicuculline, picrotoxin, diazepam and phenobarbitone on the protective effect of clonidine against pentylenetetrazol-induced seizures were studied in mice. Muscimol, AOAA, DABA, phenobarbitone and diazepam
Since a previous study indicated that the water extract of Scutellariae radix (SR) had high affinity for the benzodiazepine (BDZ) binding site of GABA(A) receptors, the present study examined whether SR water extract has an anticonvulsant effect in vivo and an enhancing effect on
In this study, we investigated the role of GABAergic and glutamatergic systems in the anticonvulsant action of 3-alkynyl selenophene (3-ASP) in a pilocarpine (PC) model of seizures. To this purpose, 21 day-old rats were administered with an anticonvulsant dose of 3-ASP (50 mg/kg, per oral, p.o.),
